With the demand for software, I don't think it matters that much how many devs are churned out. Most of them are going to be mediocre and have poor interviewing skills. Boot camp grads really don't pose serious competition to anyone besides other junior developers. With a resume that has good formatting and spelling, people skills, networking, and maybe a few personal projects, it's entirely possible to get hired today. With 10 years of experience, I'd be surprised if anyone gave a f--- about whether you have a degree in most cases.
- YeGoblynQueenne 4y agoWith 10 years of experience your biggest problem is likely to be that the person reviewing you doesn't have half your experience.

Second, interview is a number game, though it's against you (..r time). Send as many applications (even though you barely or almost meet the requirements) and have as many interview as you can.
